Electroacoustic Music Days 2026 takes place on 20–22 November at the Ionian Academy in Corfu, as part of the 24th annual meeting of the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association (ESSIM). The programme for Sunday 22 November includes Yannis Mygdanis’s “Dia.Stás[e]is” (2026), a work for two-channel fixed media lasting 9′04″.
Synthesised breath sounds, vocal resonances and pulses meet processed vocal fragments and recordings of stellar signals. The material develops through two cycles of tension and release. After each climax, sounds return in altered relationships to one another. In the quieter passages, traces of the preceding disturbance remain audible.
The title brings together the Greek words for dimensions and stances with the ancient Greek stasis, which can also mean conflict. The [e] alludes to the mathematical epsilon (ε), an arbitrarily small positive quantity. In the work, a small shift can alter the balance of the entire sound structure.
